>> Hello All -
>>
>>   With this email, I am pleased to present to the OSGeo Incubation Committee an OSGeo Project Candidate :  TorchGeo [0].  As Project Mentor I have worked closely with the TorchGeo PSC and code base.  In my best judgement, I find that TorchGeo is not only a suitable candidate, but in fact a substantial addition to a large set of consequential and significant geospatial software projects of our current era, represented by OSGeo.

>> The Program Steering Committee (PSC) of TorchGeo is composed of a small but diverse group of committers; the PSC has defined clear standards for code contributions, bugs, features and additions. Due to the unique character of this training and benchmarking environment, many complete teams from more than a hundred institutions worldwide are contributing and active in the project.  As a Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence environment itself, new data LICENSE challenges are present as well.

>> You will find abundant links and details in the project Application [1] and Code Review [2].  The TorchGeo project release cycle is integrated with OSGeo Planet and news -- special thanks to JSanz.
>>
>> Please review and cast your vote at your earliest convenience. Questions and other inquiries will be handled on an OSGeo TRAC instance ticket [3].   The voting period shall begin with the date of this email, and scheduled to conclude in 14 days hence.
>>
>> Special gratitude on this important day goes out to the OSGeo Systems Administration Team for TRAC, MediaWiki, email and support infrastructure
